Feel like your career is on life support? You are not alone. There is a cure.

“I worked in the advertising industry for 11 years and rose in the ranks. I was very good at my job and got promoted to a role where I was surrounded by all men.

I recently was let go and I am convinced it is because I am a woman.

Do you have any advice for women in the workforce?”

In 190, men made up 80% of the workforce and women 20%. As of March 2009 in the United States, women made up 49.7%.

Women are working more, but they are making less.

You’re only going to see this announcement once (ever), so please read every word very very carefully. It’s really that important. To all women, I want to invite you to something really special. Click here.

According to the Canadian Labour Congress, “the gender wage gap in Canada has remained stuck since the mid 1990s at one of the highest levels in the advanced industrial world.”

Most recent figures show that women make 7.5% of what men make in comparable roles. These are the facts.

However, I wish to share three anecdotal lessons I learned from three women and how women can make more money:

- Ask for more money:
A human resources manager I had on my radio show told me that about 90% of people do not negotiate their salary or ask for a raise.

What was even more shocking to learn was that she expected most people to ask for more money.

Women in her experience, were less likely to do so. This could explain par of the reason why women make less money then men.

Managers have greater respect for employees who stand up for their monetary worth.

Both men and women are qualified to ask for more money.

- Strut your stuff:
You do not have to be a man to succeed. n 2007 I met a very powerful and successful real estate broker, an industry dominated by men. She told me that many women she meets try to ignore their feminine side. She said this is a mistake.

Women have an innate ability to relate to people and a keen sense of intuition.

She went on to say that ambition and drive are normal human traits for both men and women.

- Network
A partner at a large accounting firm successfully rose through the ranks of her company. She was talking to me about the greatest barrier women face in reaching her position: Networking.

She said women are less likely than men to attend evening company networking sessions due to family obligations.

These networking develop the relationships with senior management and be on the promotion track.
